Tried it and loved it, but...
Here are the things that I liked about his mask. First of all, it NEVER fogs up. Because the breathing portion covers your mouth and nose the mask never fogs up. Second, you get a huge field of view. It was so easy to see in my peripheral so I didn't miss those sea turtles or stingray. Saw them flash in the corner of my eye and got to go check it out. It was awesome! I have a short beard and still didn't have any issue with the mask sealing. I used my traditional mask to compare and it had a slow leak by my nose that was annoying. I had the first version of the Seaview with the snorkle straigt on top and I like the redesign. I feel like I didn't run into the snorkle being under water as much, maybe that's just how I swim.There was a few things that I didn't love. Since it is a full face mask, I couldn't pressurize my ears when diving deep (No way to plug your nose). The other would be when I dived deeper to check out a few conch shells on the bottom there is a lot of pressure on your whole face. I got used to this pressure and was able to dive and swim down low with the turtles and just explore the fish that were hiding under the coral, I just didn't love that part.Overall I still give the mask 5 stars. The breathing was so easy, the view was great, it Never fogged up, the gopro attach point was awesome, recorded right where I was looking. Not perfect, but best mask I've used hands down.

Comfortable, full-face snorkel mask!
Your browser does not support HTML5 video. Loved this this snorkel mask. I am not a regular snorkeler and this is the first mask I have bought so I wasn’t quite sure what to expect but it’s really a whole new world below especially as it’s a full face mask - the visibility and clarity is amazing. Tested it for about 30 minutes without any problems. Highly recommend!It was surprisingly comfortable to the point I was a bit concerned it wouldn’t seal well and was wondering if I just had a flat face. But it did and the bands were really easy to adjust.While the breathing tube is pretty wide, I think because I have never done this before, the level of breathing resistance took a little getting used to but got used to taking regular slow deep breaths felt normal and easy (I wouldn’t try doing an aggressive breast stroke with this thing on). I sort of suspect though you would get a lot more volume of air through this air pipe than many of the other masks I was looking at before I bought this one. I did a few slow laps at the pool and again, no issues - crystal clear (perhaps a little alarmingly so as you can see all the dirt in the pool) and no fog. Great product and I would definitely recommend it (and it also comes with a handy bag to put it in which I imagine reduces the risk of scratches during travel).

great updates to an already great product
I love to snorkel on vacations since I don't have a license (or the disposition) to scuba, but I usually get headaches after long snorkeling expeditions because I have the tendency to clench the mouthpiece with my teeth too hard. I'm a strong swimmer but something about snorkeling and being in the ocean brings out some anxiety in me and it tend to chomp down hard on traditional snorkels. I'm not sure if it is from anxiety, or just being nervous that it will fall out, but I have clenched/bit through the mouthpieces of other traditional snorkels before, and even on the occasions when I don't ruin the equipment, I usually have a terrible headache and/or jaw pain for the rest of the day. Despite this, I continue to snorkel because I enjoy swimming and seeing the different aquatic life, or treasure hunting for those really awesome shells that you can only find with a mask.I have had a similar style mask from this same manufacturer since 2015 and it has been very well used. The other mask has really stood up to the many uses and vacations we have taken over the past 4 years, but when I saw an updated version, I couldn't resist!I have only had the chance to try the mask out in a pool so far, but the tweaks and updates are really great! Not having to worry about a mouthpiece is so liberating. I also felt like I could see more underwater with the larger, more open view of the mask. Not having something in my mouth allowed me to 'oooh and ahhhhh' and even talk inside the mask clearly enough for my husband to be able to hear what I was saying. After all, what good is snorkeling if you can't point out the cool things you see to your companion?With this model I liked that it had a more streamlined appearance, and the snorkel tube is located in a different, more convenient place. There is also an update to the inside area around the mouth to make the fit more natural, as well as keep the mask from fogging up. Overall I would totally recommend this mask to anyone who loves to snorkel or underwater sightsee. I can see that it would be a really great starter mask for small children to wear since there is less to learn and it is much easier to see things underwater.I am looking forward to using this on an upcoming cruise and will report if there is any more feedback about use in the open ocean!

Best fit I ever had
When they say that this is custom designed to fit your face better than any other product, they are not lying!For someone who has gone through so much snorkeling gear over the years this is by far the best one I have owned!

My favorite mask so far
First item for me was comfort vs leaks. Other masks I have used cause some pressure points to avoid any leaks that eventually cause headaches. This one has a rubber lining that is super comfortable and did not allow any leaks in at all.The next item is that I hate getting salt-water in my mouth or having it build up to disrupt breathing--making like a bubbling sound. The same rubber lining that makes the mask comfortable also creates a reservoir for any water that would come in through the tube. There is a way for water to escape from that reservoir as well. It was the most hassle-free snorkeling I've done because it kept the water out so well.Lastly, I saw one review on breathing issues causing headaches--not my experience at all. We swam pretty hard in this mask, and even took it into some deep waves that were crashing pretty hard. Never once did I feel like breathing was an issue or that I wasn't getting enough oxygen circulating. It held up really well even when we snorkeled where we probably shouldn't have been.

Excellent product
I e-mailed Wildhorn first to make sure I was ordering the right size - they were very helpful and came back to me immediately. I tried this product on holiday in the Med last week. Worked really well.. was comfortable, didn't fog up and I found it much easier to breath than a conventional snorkel which I've used many times before. Without having to adjust it super-tight, there was no water ingress. When diving down, the snorkel vent worked perfectly although the mask did create a fair bit of pressure on my face. Although vision was excellent, the sea was quite rough and I still managed to get stung by a jellyfish. Ouch!

Simply Amazing
Absolutely amazing. The fishes came to my face I got a little scared as I forgot there was a barrier between me and them. At times however when not placed correctly I got suffocated; I think that’s because it has the silicon around the nose and mouth area otherwise amazing product.

Great for shallow water
Visibility is brilliant but I did get light headed wearing it, so stayed within touching distance of the floor.

Fantastic
Fantastic - comfortable, easy to breathe, no pressure on bridge of nose or around the mouth like traditional snorkel. No misting, great view, easy to adjust. Highly recommend
